Cen/Hotbodies .46

[comp75]

Are these engines really much stronger than a quality .28-.30 engine??
Thanks

They may have more torque, but from what I hear about them they are crap. At least the Hot Bodies .46 I have not heard of anyone having a good running one. Go with a Novarossi .28 or a Collari .30 or something, that is my opinion.

Or, wait for the wasp .32...

CEN motor needs custom mounts to fit into most other mt's

And, new era carries those mounts!

When i first got my t-maxx, i thought it would be totally awesome to strap on a new era .70 conversion, just to say... now what?! But i knocked some sense into myself and settled with a sirio .27r...

the cen motors haul. i got the cen CT4S and the box says it goes 73.4MPH. I'm not sure if it actually does, but it defantly hauls! it is hard to find parts tho. i have no experince w/ the .46 cen motor, but hobbytown says they dont carry genesis stuff because the motor is too powerful for everything else the genesis has. and when u have to buy a little part, they make u but a hole kit thing and half the parts arent necessary for your fix. get the collari .30 I'm gettin one ill tell u how it is.


peace mark

Theres a saying...there's no replacement for displacement. That said...I've heard very negative things on the hotbodies...like the crankshaft coming apart...etc. The Cen 46 seems to be a good motor...but again...depends what your looking for. U wanna pull yourself in a wagon...go for the cen .36 or TT .70.......U wanna RACE...go w/ a .21 to .30...

Generally, larger motors don't reach the higher RPM's .... smaller motors reach higher RPM's but dont' get the torque and HP of the larger blocks.

I wouldnt say that... The wasp .28 spins more rpms than most small blocks..
